Dr Apaak made the appeal after chairing a meeting at the Ministry of Education on behalf of the Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, with the Senior Staff Association of Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG). In a Facebook post after the engagement, Dr Apaak said the discussions were frank and constructive, focusing on the issues that triggered the ongoing strike by senior university staff. TEWU, FUSSAG, and SSA-UoG call off intended strike“I urged them to also continue with their engagements with the National Labour Commission to reach an amicable resolution,” Dr Apaak added. Members of the SSA-UoG on Tuesday declared a nationwide strike to protest recent changes to their conditions of service by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission. Dr Apaak said the government remains committed to dialogue and consensus-building, stressing that sustained engagement among all parties is essential to restoring calm on campuses and ensuring that students are not unduly affected by the dispute.
